I'm not saying that we should condone sexisim, rasicsm or any other kind of prejudice, because we shouldn't.
I just personally feel that this whole thing is ridiculous. He hasn't intended to be offensive or to upset anyone, he was just having a bit of a laugh, nothing more than that.
Can you beleive that we are never going to hear Andy Gray on sky sports on a Sunday afternoon in the pub watching the footy?
....Or in the next release of FIFA?
Who will replace Andy Gray?
Shame man....I will miss it

Another person using the 'political correctness' line!! I think it is hilarious how that term is used to justify sexist/racist/homophobic etc thoughts!
He was given a warning for the comments he made about female referees assistants. He was sacked for his thing about putting the mic down his pants.
If you had made sexist remarks in your place of work, you would have had a warning (like he did!) and the same goes for the mic down the pants! Hence the sacking. There may have been more incidents that we don't know about too?
I think people should just move on now! It is so boring hearing about is still.

I dont like bullies, whether it be physical or mental. They aren't very nice people (allegedly) in most forms of contact, and I for one agree with both of their sackings/resignations on that basis.
I dont care what anyone thinks or replies to my comments, thats is my opinion and Im entitled to it!

I can understand how some might view this as political correctness gone mad, but women who regularly face sexism (i.e. bullying) would strongly disagree and on balance I would have to agree with women that this kind of attitude needs to be stamped out.
Therefore Gray and Keys got what they deserved, although it won't be long before the old 'boys' club find them another easy overpaid job.

Claire so you have never ever with the Girls took the piss out of Men or had banter . Come on everyone has banter and it's up to the individuals how far you go. But what you can't legislate against is someone recording your private comments
